Pet Peeves

Oh how long this list is....

But without being judgemental, there are a few things which can push my buttons like nothing else can.

I mean what's with birthdays and cakes?
Who started this?
Why do we pay good money to buy these super adulterated lumps of lard?
On the 8th of March each year I heave a sigh of relief coz thankfully the birthday season amongst my family and friends is finally over. Do we realise how damaging to the agriculture industry cakes are? And here I am citing just the mass produced ones. But the ones we do at home are ok. And we should all do only home made cakes. The other variety consumes agriculture and industrial resources and are not eco friendly at all.
So avoid....

Another thing that irks me endlessly is people driving in the centre of the road, converting two lane roads into a single road... So who died and appointed you Mayor of the county? Please move your car encased arse to one side....

People talking in phone in movies, or munching loudly, heck you all have a special place reserved in hell. May a bed bug crawl up your butt crack.

People who are rude to serving staff in stores, restaurants, coffee shops.... Whoever you are, you deserve a Joffrey Baratheon in your lives......

Emerging from the shower and then remembering that you havent got your towel, sucks like crazy. And then dripping all over to get it, whilst freezing your butt off, well it makes me rant at myself...
Need to plan my showers better.

Tucking yourself in snugly, only to discover that a toe is somehow getting a breeze, is pure crap.

Getting bitten on your toes by merciless mosquitoes, whilst half asleep, and then having to wake up to scratch is the absolute pits. For every mosquito that has ever bitten me, I wish upon you the relentless march of white walkers.

Falling down.... I hate it and do it so often. Not having a better sense of balance is my pet peeve. All my cuts and bruises are a testament to that.

Many more, but for now this is it.

Thappad

Thappad The prelude to the aria that is Thappad, is a dizzying runabout of a homemaker's humdrum daily chores. It serves to establish the roles each character has established for themselves. The husband played by newbie, Pavail Gulati is wonderfully self-obsessed and completely oblivious to anything but his own needs. The wife played by Tapsee Pannu ( as if we didn't know! Ha ha!) is on the other end of the spectrum. She is hyper aware of the needs of all those around her and revels in being needed and being able to be of service. The nuances that are written into the script are sheer brilliance. Consider the opening montage introducing the main characters to us. The wife being driven about, the girlfriend being received with love and finally a super successful lawyer finding freedom in hanging out a car window. The conversation that ensues between all of them, sketches skillfully the back stories of the lot of them. The movie is far from being a chest beating comment...

Good things come in threes!

 For me, good things come in threes………. And yet again, three things that made my week and will for certain go on to make my weekend. A web series – The Ba***ds of Bollywood. This is such a fun ride. I must start with the mockery that is made of the entire Sameer Wankhede incident. They found an actor who closely resembles the real-life officer; it is hilarious. It is just good fun, and should be taken in that spirit, forget the cries of nepotism; I know of generations who practice the same profession repeatedly, so let us give this one a rest, shall we? It has all the ingredients of a bhel puri, and they are used well. So do not watch this one expecting caviar. We have seen Raghav Juyal and Lakshya Lalwani slug it out in Kill and show very good chemistry, so also in this one. One brilliant scene is the one in which the protagonist scares the heebie-jeebies out of a critic, who is totally modeled on Rajeev Masand. Too much fun! And such swagger! And ah Bobby Deol, the phoenix – what...
